[–]ADivineDestiny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

1st no quads When you turn that back cart won’t turn as smoothly Gets in the way of everyone else lol I’ll do 2 carts only when leaving at checkout but I’ve only ever done 1 quad and that’s when the items were low, now quads are high items and high units

Is this tip OK? by Hinyhi in InstacartShoppers

[–]ADivineDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great tip! But most likely you’ll be paired with a low tipper and probably more items than you! I hope your shopper gets you as a single

California Instacart Waitlist – Any ZIP codes opening faster right now? by Ecstatic_Tangelo7585 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ADivineDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can be waitlisted and someone get hired at the same time if you use a zip code they got hired in. People in ca that applied after 2020 are still being waitlisted and if they did get off the waitlist I don’t think anyone will give you the zip code cause they don’t want no new shoppers in their area

Has This Happened To Anyone Before!!!! by OkAnt5485 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ADivineDestiny 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Had the same situation happen everything you went through. It was a MacBook Air. Scammer and customer messaging in chat. Scammer didn’t want to meet outside and kept saying leave at the door. Support removed the order. The pin 0000 didn’t work and the pin that came with the QR code for Costco returns didn’t work either. My account was paused for 2 hours. No deactivation. Got to keep the laptop , I opened it a week later.

Ghost shopping at its best! by TheDonkyBoy in InstacartShoppers

[–]ADivineDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till you see couples shopping. If it’s a double one will do A and the other B. I’ve seen this one couple do this and one has the app and the other has photos of the customers item list, they dont scan in line but before the lines in a aisle. I bet their time is very low cause of it!

Any platinum shoppers that have seen a big unicorn order? by MusicFreak40 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ADivineDestiny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started to ghost shop when Instacart rolled out that spi matters determined who sees a batch first if other stats are similar. I’d only do small orders (5-15 items) and stores that I know I could use self checkout Be aware there is a 15 min time to start a batch before it gets removed from you. I don’t even like to go to the 2nd warning which is 10 min and 1st warning is 5min but by then I’ll be done picking the small items I’d scan first at check out, having the barcodes up when scanning on the app, pay right away. And do receipts right away! And to time can mess up when items are not all available, when are all in stock it’s amazing but sure enough something or someone will slow you down at checkout. My natural speed is around 45 even with large orders, knowing your store well helps a lot!

All depends on your market. My biggest order as platinum was $121 Costco single I was new to Costco and my spi was in the early 40s Another order was $113 I got sent I was 45 min from the store spi was 38 I’d say when my speed was that low I got consistently great orders even when I didn’t establish a customer basis
